Accused Piggy Bank Thief Spotted As Supermarket Butcher

Jason Engel Arrested At Noblestown Road Shop 'n Save

A wanted man was arrested at the supermarket where he worked after skipping an appearance on charges that included stealing $400 from a 2-year-old boy's piggy bank, according to Allegheny County authorities.

Jason Engel, 21, was charged by Stowe Township police in August after a woman accused him of stealing $60, a cell phone and some condoms after she kicked him out of her home.

The woman later discovered money was missing from her son's piggy bank, and police filed charges including burglary and theft, but the county sheriff's office said Engel failed to appear at a required pretrial meeting.

Engel's photo was posted on the "Most Wanted" list on the sheriff's website. Someone recognized his mug shot and reported seeing him working as a butcher at Shop 'n Save on Noblestown Road in Westwood.

Engel, from the Elliott area, was arrested at the grocery store by sheriff's deputies on Wednesday. He was taken to the county jail to await a court appearance.
